Netherworld Immortal

On this day, the Heavenly Ghost Sect Headquarters posted a sect notice.

Fifteen days later, new disciples will have their first martial arts test.

The initial martial arts competition is a test of the cultivation of newcomers. The newcomers who get the ranking will be rewarded by the sect. The main purpose is to promote the spirit of martial arts in the sect.After all, only if the sect is in an invincible position in the cultivation world, can it continue to pass on.

With the twenty top-grade spirit stones bestowed by Ning Tianqi, Xu Yang decided to go to Zongneifang City to buy some handy equipment for the first trial.Early in the morning, Xu Yang took the small teleportation array in the Zong and arrived at the Neifang City of the Tiangui Zong Zong.

The Heavenly Ghost Sect deserves to be the leading sect in the Zhongyuan Continent. There are many shops in the Zongneifang City, and the scene is grand.Most of the shops are opened by the sect itself, and a few are rented by large chambers of commerce and families.

Xu Yang excitedly wandered back and forth on the streets of Fangshi, and entered a shop with a lot of traffic but not too big.

As soon as he entered the shop, he was greeted by a middle-aged butler with a slightly fat body and a mustache.

"Young master, please come inside." The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.

"Shopkeeper, what attack and defense magic weapon do you recommend for me?" Xu Yang asked.

The store invited Xu Yang to take a seat, and then brought a booklet, saying: "This is all the various offensive and defensive magic weapons in our store. You can choose your own, if you are satisfied, I will give the real ones to you." Take it for tasting." Then, the shopkeeper picked up a teapot on the table and served Xu Yangman a cup of spiritual tea.

Xu Yang flipped through the atlas, such as Jiuyang Knife, Chixue Hook, and Huatian Sword with various names of magic weapons, which made people dazzled.The price of a good magic weapon is ridiculously high, so you can only buy it according to your own financial resources. After all, not always someone rewards him with a lot of spirit stones.

Xu Yang chose three instruments that were satisfactory in price and function.One offensive weapon "Sanyang Lihuo Cone" and two defensive magic weapons, one is a close-fitting "golden silk soft inner armor" and one "fine steel shield."

"Could you introduce the situation of these three instruments in detail." Xu Yang asked.

"Young Master has a unique insight. These Sanyang Lihuo Cone, a set of three, can be used flexibly. A set of three can form a small Lihuo formation, which can increase the fire spells. It is both offensive and defensive. It is a rare set. The medium-grade magic weapon is rumored to be the work of Ouyang Cheng, the master of the sect's inner weapon refiner.

"Golden Silk Soft Inner Armor" is a close-fitting low-grade defensive artifact, light and durable. "Stainless steel shield" is also a low-grade defensive magic weapon, with good defensive power, but a bit bulky.

Sanyang Lihuo Cone is worth five high-grade spirit stones, one of which was forbidden to damage a layer during use, so the price is also discounted, and the price of a truly intact one is more than ten times higher.However, it can be repaired by a special refining master, but the repair cost is too high and not cost-effective, and the success rate is low.The golden silk soft inner armor is worth two top-grade spirit stones, and the fine steel shield is worth one top-grade spirit stone.Three pieces add up to eight high-grade spirit stones.This store can give a discount to fellow daoists, three pieces together, seven top-grade spirit stones and five middle-grade spirit stones. "The shopkeeper said eloquently.

Generally, there are five grades of magical artifacts: low-grade, middle-grade, top-grade, extreme-grade, and Xuantian Lingbao. There is also a legendary magical artifact.The grade difference of the magic weapon is mainly due to the quality of the material of the magic weapon, as well as the number of restrictions on it and the quality of the function.

The refining of magic weapon requires a special refining master or even a master refining master.Low-grade magical artifacts can also be further refined to evolve into higher-level magical artifacts after increasing the restrictions engraved on them.The success rate of evolution is closely related to the original material of the magic weapon and the means of the master of refining.

Xu Yang carefully inspected the three items, and they were generally the same as those introduced in the album.The price was affordable, so I bought all three.

Xu Yang bought dozens of Fireball Talismans. These Fireball Talismans are suitable for low-cost monks who lack mana. Especially when used with the small magic circle of Sanyangli Fire Cone, it is a good way to temporarily replenish combat power.After visiting a few more shops, seeing that it was getting late, Xu Yang hurriedly left Fangshi and returned to his residence.

Inside Xu Yang's residence.

According to the method of identifying the masters of the magic tools learned, Xu Yang recognized the masters of the three magic tools one by one.

The recognition of the owner of the magic weapon means that the owner of the magic weapon injects a small amount of his blood essence into the forbidden key reserved on the magic weapon.After the identification of the master is successful, only the owner of the magic weapon can flexibly manipulate the magic weapon, and the owner of the magic weapon can also cancel the recognition of the magic weapon by itself.

In addition to the recognition of the master by dripping blood, there are other special ways of recognizing the master.For example, the characteristic of passing on the acknowledgment of the master is that monks who have practiced the same technique must use a special secret method to pass on a magic weapon.

The Sanyangli Fire Cone is a small set of instruments, and it requires considerable proficiency to operate it.Xu Yang practiced every day, sharpened his guns before the battle, and let go of his unhappiness.Fortunately, Xu Yang practiced martial arts with his mother to strengthen his body since he was a child, and after a few days, he can use it decently.

The fine steel shield is a simple defensive weapon, and it is easier to manipulate.The golden silk soft inner armor is directly worn under the clothes, which is very convenient, but the defense is slightly weaker.

The day of the first test.

Early in the morning, all the disciples were brought to the Yanwu Academy in the sect.The venue of the Martial Arts Institute is divided into more than twenty blocks, which are distributed in steps on the hillside. From a distance, it occupies a whole side of the hillside.There is a ring in each martial arts arena, and flags are erected on ten of them, with numbers from one to ten written on them.

The competition is divided into preliminaries and finals.In the preliminaries, the disciples were divided into ten groups by drawing lots.Supervised by the appointed elders, they will face off in pairs, and the victorious ones will participate in the next round until the top ten teams are determined.The second day is a day off, and the third day is the final.The first ten contestants in the preliminaries group will draw lots to face off in pairs, and the victorious ones will proceed to the next round. In the end, the remaining two will decide the No.2 and No.[-] in the final, and the other eight will not be ranked.

The lottery ended, and Xu Yang drew No. 70 No. [-] and was assigned to the seventh field.

On the seventh arena, Xu Yang was wearing a light green gown, standing straight on the side of the arena, with a calm expression on his face.Xu Yang was calm on the surface, but he was a little nervous inside. After all, it was the first time in his life to fight against others.

Opposite is also a boy.This person was about the same height as Xu Yang, and was dressed in blue.Thin face, high nose, small but bright eyes.This was the first time in Xu Yang's life that he was fighting with someone, so he couldn't help but take a closer look at this person.Xu Yang let go of his consciousness, and found that this person's cultivation was the same as his own at the first level of entering the spiritual realm, and his heart was half relieved when he mentioned it.

"Zhu is willing to see the methods of this fellow Taoist." Said the boy opposite.

"My surname is Xu, and I am honored to compete with brother Zhu today." Xu Yang replied.

With the order of the game supervisor, the game officially started.

As soon as Xu Yang raised his hand, he mastered the Minghuo Jue, and a fist-sized flame shot out from his right hand, hitting the opponent's chest.

The boy surnamed Zhu on the opposite side did not show weakness. He opened his mouth and sprayed out a water bomb that collided with Xu Yang's fireball head-on. With a loud hiss, both the water bomb and the fire ball disappeared, leaving a cloud of water vapor scattered in the air. .

Xu Yang fired five or six fire bombs one after another, but the boy surnamed Zhu on the opposite side dispelled them one by one with water bombs.Xu Yang flicked his wrist and shot out a Lihuo Cone.

Under the wrapping of the fire attribute mana, the fire cone is like an arrow from the string.

Seeing this, the young man surnamed Zhu spun out a blue folding fan, and a large swirling mass of water-attributed mana instantly turned into a water shield in front of him, and the fire cone penetrated into the water shield, like being stuck in a quagmire. greatly weakened.With a jingle, the fire cone bounced away.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Xu Yang retracted the Lihuo Cone with a movement of his consciousness.The young man surnamed Zhu took the opportunity to urge him with his mana, and an anaconda with a bowl-sized mouth flew out from the folding fan, heading towards Xu Yang in a menacing manner.

Xu Yang quickly sacrificed the fine steel shield.The anaconda and the stainless steel shield collided together, the stainless steel shield shook non-stop after being smashed, and the anaconda turned into a large piece of water splashing away, but the counter-shock force made Xu Yang feel that the palm holding the shield was shaking. Shock and severe pain.

The two sides are back and forth, twenty rounds have passed in the blink of an eye, and sweat has already oozed from Xu Yang's forehead.

Xu Yang pretended to be helpless, and retreated again and again, secretly accumulating mana.

The young man surnamed Zhu saw that Xu Yang was getting helpless, he smiled complacently, and danced with a folding fan even more fiercely.The young man surnamed Zhu threw the folding fan into the air, made a formula with both hands, and shouted "fall." Water arrows shot out from the folding fan like locusts.Xu Yang held a shield to block, while retreating, leading the young man surnamed Zhu to the corner of the ring.

At this moment, Xu Yang suddenly accelerated his movement and jumped out of the water arrow attack in a flash.Taking advantage of the situation, he retracted the stainless steel shield, and raised his hand to shoot three Lihuo cones in volley.

Seeing this, the young man surnamed Zhu made a tactic with both hands, and the folding fan kept spinning in front of him, forming a vortex of water attribute mana, which was about to catch the incoming Lihuo cone.

Xu Yang's consciousness moved, and the three Lihuo cones went in three directions respectively, and paused in the air strangely.The three Lihuo cones connected to form a triangular magic circle rotated rapidly, and strands of fiery red runes walked non-stop on the magic circle.

Li Huo's strange meal made the young man surnamed Zhu subconsciously raise his fan to protect his head.For a moment, there was a hole in the chest of the young man surnamed Zhu, Xu Yang saw the opportunity and shook his right hand, and three fireball talismans shot out in volley.

"Boom!" The three talismans exploded together, and a huge flame rose into the air.The flame was pulled by the Lihuo Cone's formation, passed through the three Lihuo Cone's small formation and turned into a fire python, directly attacking the young man surnamed Zhu.

The young man surnamed Zhu didn't have time to dodge, he opened his mouth in a hurry, and poured the energy from his big mouth into the folding fan crazily, and the folding fan instantly became bigger and blocked in front of him, covering his head and chest together.

Seeing this, Xu Yang shook his wrist.Another three detonating talismans struck directly at the feet of the young man surnamed Zhu.Only two consecutive bangs were heard, the huge fire python bombarded the folding fan as big as a screen, and sparks flew everywhere.

The body of the boy surnamed Zhu who was shocked by the huge shock wave shook backwards.Just as Zhu's body was still standing still, three other detonating talismans arrived as expected and exploded under his feet.

The young man surnamed Zhu groaned inwardly, and instinctively flashed to the side.

At this moment, Xu Yang rushed to the young man surnamed Zhu, and kicked the opponent's calf firmly with his sweeping leg.

The boy surnamed Zhu groaned, staggered to the side, and fell off the ring.

"No. 76 wins." The game supervisor said immediately.

Xu Yang saluted the competition supervisor and jumped off the ring.When he came to the young man surnamed Zhu, he clasped his fists together and said, "Brother Zhu accepts.".

The young man surnamed Zhu was originally in the upper hand, but now he was defeated by Xu Yang.Seeing the sincerity on Xu Yang's face, he clasped his fists slightly and said, "Brother Xu is better at it." After speaking, he turned and left unwillingly.

In fact, Xu Yang had rehearsed this series of tricks several times in the preparations a few days ago.Unexpectedly, using it today would really work, Xu Yang secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Although the magic circle formed by the fire cones can increase the damage of the fire attribute, it also requires a lot of mana. With Xu Yang's current mana, it can be activated two or three times at most in a short period of time.Moreover, the upper limit of the total mana value of the fire attribute amplified by the fire cone is not high, after all, it is only a middle-grade magic weapon.

Next, Xu Yang quietly watched the games of other contestants.Seeing that many of the disciples who participated in the competition were far superior to him in strength, his excitement just now calmed down.

As Xu Yang expected, Xu Yang was defeated by a child of a family in the second round of the group match on the seventh field.

In the end, one of the young male cultivators named Nangong Zhongshan won the No.1 in Xu Yang's group.
